Environment, Malnutrition, Safe Drinking Water More Important Issues Than Church’s Stance On Condoms For HIV Prevention, Pope Francis Says

Associated Press: Pope: There are bigger issues than condoms and HIV
“Pope Francis has dismissed a question about whether condoms can be condoned in the fight against AIDS by saying there are more important issues confronting the world, like malnutrition, environmental exploitation, and the lack of safe drinking water. … He said when those problems are taken care of, questions like condoms and AIDS can be addressed…” (Winfield, 11/30).
